Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

af came on sunday.. so I'm at the 3rd day now.. this round i feel like quite light... norm is 7days with 1-3days from ave to heavy to ave then slowly to spotts.. cramp started on saturday and end yesterday, which is unusual as i normally get cramps on first day of af only. and i aso super bloat, alot air trapped inside and air pains up till last night wads wrong hur...

btw, anyone notice bbt changes when you sleep with blanket and when without blanket?

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

During follicular phase, the variations of temperature is more, compared to luteal phase. That's what I read from internet and it also happens to me. During FP, the difference for me can be 0.3 degree. But they are always below coverline. The day I had my mense, my temp totally dipped to below coverline. Seems to me your temp is still above coverline altho you've got your AF? If I have interpreted your chart correctly.

Now that I'm preggie, I notice my temp variation is even more drastic. I always have blanket on regardless. Some mornings I will wake up really warm and my temp will rise "abnormally". I did ask my sinseh before and she said the big rise is no problem... the only thing I have to lookout is a big dip which may not be a good sign. So based on my charting, she has given me a new coverline such that so long my temp is above her line, there's nothing to worry about.

And if you've charted a few months and you're in a way familiar with your own BBT already, you can skip the charting while your AF is on. If you know that you typically O on CD14, you can skip charting for 8-10days. Because those reading during the earlier part of FP is not so "usable". Like I said, this is only when one is confident of her cycle pattern.

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

Hi hi - Here's my FF chart using the "Research" method. When I use the "Fertility Awareness" method, it predicted that my Ovulation date is a week later... But when I saw my gynae on 5 dec, he said the follicle measures 13mm so I should be ovulating across the next 4 days. So I'm so confused. Oh I paid for 3 additional months (hoping that I will 'succeed' before my subscription expires). Anyway, I think my FF chart is confusing- It's like rocky temperatures Anyone can shed any light? I guess I wont get preggers this round right.. From the recent temp changes...

I read that we could have rocky temp after ovulation if you have not enough protestrone (dont know how to spell) then no enough to sustain if concieve n may mc. Littlej did you check your levels? your chart seem messy sry

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

littlej, oh my, your chart got many mountains after mountains ;p How come your temps are so drastic? Did you measure around the same time everyday? Or perhaps were you unwell at some points?

Yes Dr Wu will be around tomorrow. I was supposed to see her tomorrow too but she said no point seeing her tomorrow as I will be seeing my gynae for the first time tomorrow. She says no need to see two docs in a day. Hee. So I'm seeing her next week Wed instead. If you have the time, try to be there 920am or so. Take the first queue number.

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

Hi hi. Hey no worries. Yes my chart is darn messy! Hmm, granted I didn't take around the same time. Sometimes 7am, sometimes 8am... Oh.. And i sleep at different times.. Sometimes only 4 hours of sleep sometimes 10hours... And on 29nov and 10dec I had wine the night before with friends.

I heard alcohol affects which results in temp surge. And I am trying to keep sleep pattern consistent but very hard

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

hi littlehamster - nah, i'm not working shifts but sometimes I have overseas conference calls at weird timings. Actually this month is relatively quiet - I guess I have been having irregular hours of sleep cuz I was catching up with TVB or reading my book :P Yeah, I know alcohol is no good.... hi dragontail - Ya I wonder what she'll tell me! *nervous*

We are trying to concieve-ing!

Turns out my funny cramps is due to af and aso intestines squeezing hard poop. Get the wind n constipation n gastric flu few times alrdy during these few mths of trying to concieve, this month worse. So weird why only when start trying to concieve then weird things happening to the body

Re: We are trying to concieve-ing!

Ha! See, that's called there's always another mountain higher than the other. You're the third one then should be quite fast. Maybe max half hour wait. Hope you dont kerna the l.o.r-sor couple before you.... for past two wednesdays I went, I happened to be behind this same couple. Alas, they were chit chatting with sinseh inside. So long.... Anyway, good luck and update!
